You wouldn't believe these muffins are made from Papaya. Yes! These Papaya Muffins are light, sweet and perfectly fluffy. Great for breakfast, snacks or you can eat them anytime of the day!
What is Papaya?
Papaya is a SUPERFOOD. It has so many natural health benefits not to mention it's very versatile in the kitchen. You can eat it for breakfast as is or make a papaya smoothie, or any part of the day for that matter. It is great for curbing your hunger cravings.
In the Philippines, Papaya is very popular. Much like the Mango, they are grown in abundance. Green Papaya can also be added to soups for flavour. I found some beautiful Papaya at the produce aisle and decided to make some muffins. I hope you enjoy these light and fluffy Papaya Muffins.
